<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 4390537, member: 110350&quot;]When I went with my son to Rome during the summer of 2008 as a high school graduation present for him, I took this photo at the Capitoline Museum of the famous statue of the wolf suckling Romulus and Remus -- the same statue posted by [USER=75937]@Roman Collector[/USER] at the beginning of this thread:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1104951[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This statue, known as the Capitoline Wolf, was long believed to be an original ancient Etruscan statue of a she-wolf, with the twins added in the 15th century AD.&nbsp; However, &quot;Radiocarbon and thermoluminescence dating was carried out at the University of Salento in February 2007 to resolve the question. The results revealed with an accuracy of 95.4 percent that the [entire] sculpture was crafted between the 11th and 12th century AD.&quot;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>See <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitoline_Wolf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitoline_Wolf" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitoline_Wolf</a>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
